Jonesville Riverfest Car Show

The car and bike show at Carl Fast Park in Jonesville is always a fun way to spend some time in the shade at Riverfest. Scores of antique cars, hot rods, muscle cars, and motorcycles are on display. The owners are present to chat and to talk about cars and the work that goes into restoring them to their original glory.

 

My friend, Larry, restores antique cars and recently tried his hand at fixing up a dairy delivery truck. It only has one seat, but it swivles. It is a piece of nostalgia that he is happy to share with anyone who remembers the days when dairy products were delivered door to door.

A major fund raiser is an annual raffle for a classic car–usually a muscle car. This year it was a green Dodge Duster in great shape. A reasonably priced raffle ticket always makes somebody happy when they win a classic car.

 

The cast and crew from Darksyde Acres–a local haunted house–were dressed as zombies and mingling with folks throughout downtown Jonesville. At first glance they were a bit spooky–walking in groups of 2-4. We found them to be very well dressed and very friendly in a gruesome sort of way.


Hundreds of people head for the fire station where they have prepared dinner at a great price. Choice of pork chop or half a chicken with baked beans and cole slaw is always a hit with Riverfest visitors.
